A LONG, DBT DESEET.
There is now no oasis between the south
end of the Smithfield street bridge and
Beaver county. In olden times it was
found necessary on sonre of the
popular steamers on the Mississippi river,
to place thebar in the center of the boat, as
she couldn't be trimmed if the crowd got
too much to. either end. and was in 'danger
of taking a header or sterner, according as
the crowd gravitated fore and alt It is
suggested that some of the fortunate 93 who
got license in this city will be compelled to
put extra stories on their houses to accom
modate more bars, and that elevators Till
not be necessary as a stimulus to get people
upstairs on such days as yesterday.
Chief Brown, of the Department of Pub
lic Safety, said he did not anticipate that
saloonkeepers generally would refuse to
close for good at midnight, and thought
most of them would begin emptying their
places (as they did) by 11:30 p. m", as there
was a stimulus to obey the law, in the fact
that many of them hoped to get rehearings,
and if that failed to be more fortunate next
vear. ".Then you see the penalty for in
fraction is so serious that no prudent man
would take the .risk." He expected that
nearly all would acquiesce as cheerfully as
their temperaments would allow. -

minutes to lSp'jclock, their usual hour for
closing. AKrag the lower end ot Grant
street all Wquor stores were closed by 12
sharp, jf
Thenr were three reasons why the unli
censjfi saloons in these localities did not
take the advantage of keening open unusu-
iStlly late on the last night of their legal ex
istence: First, the Centennial fireworks,
lasting until 11:30, kept the men out of the
saloons a greater part or the night Second,
the resolution passed at Monday's meeting
of retail liquor dealers to close all saloons
on Tuesday night from 16 to 30
minutes earlier than usual, in
order to stand well in the eyes of the public
while petitions are pending for rehearings
in the license cases. Third, a suspicion
that the police had been instructed to raid
all saloons open after midnight The police,
however, deny that they had any such in
structions. On the whole there was less disorder than
usual last night in the territory described.
Of course some hilarity was only natural
around the door of a saloon at the expense
of the keeper, as he put up his shutters,
realizing that they could not be taken down
again. But the reporter only observed one
such instance where the police had to dis
perse the crowd.

Mr. Bichard Hamilton, who conducts

wagons pass np daily, ann the number is
constantly growing. Yesterday being a
holiday, it was expected there would be no
business of consequence, ,so a gang of work
men was put on to replace the floor of one
of the platforms. The throng, however,
was nearly as great as usual, and the one
car left was kept at work all day. The
men, however, worked steadily, as the car
passed up and down carrying them and
their material from top to bottom constant

does not now draw on the passenger side for
subsistence.
Trade has so grown on the Mount that it
could not be supported were it not for the
freight plane. Before it was built a ton
was a heavy load for two good horses to
draw up the hill. Now they take a three
ton load on the plane and; once at the top,
can go to any point necessary to reach.
The necessity for better transportation has
impelled the Castle Shannon Eailway Com

will be built by it, and, it is supposed,
eventually extended into an electric railway
from the top of the hill. The tunnel through
which the traffic of the road comes to the

the road is growing restive oven the royalty
charged for its use furnishing a strong in

the road on the other side. Preparations
for the building have been commenced.

A strike of miners of "Western Pennsyl
vania will be inaugurated to-day, and
almost 5,000 men in the railroad district
will be idle pending a settlement of the
wage question. At the last and rather
peculiar conference between the operators'
and miners, it was decided to accept their
terms, for the year, which was 71 J ctnta for
mining from May 1 to November 1, and
7Gi cents from November 1 to May 1.
This was what President IfcBride, of the
National Progressive Union advised, but
the members of his organization refused to
accept it The Knights of Labor who were I
present at the meeting agreed to work at
those terms, but protested against it The
NstionahProgressive Union, it will be re
membered, refused to have anything to do
with the scale, and President Conway, of
subdivision 4, comprising the Western
Pennsylvania coal fields, called a conven
tion of miners irrespective of organizations
to discuss the matter.
This convention was held yesterday after
noon at Buppel's Hall, on Smithfield street
President Conway was in the chair and
Alvin O. Patterson was secretary. There
were 32 delegates present, the majority of
whom were N. P. U. men, but some were
K. of L. and spjcStCCrglTCized men.
JEfie question of the price for mining from
Slay 1 was discussed at length. One of the
prominent speakers was Vice President
Davis, who is President McBride's right
bower. He took an entirely different stand
from Mr. McBride and told the men that
they could secure a 71-cent rate for the year
if they took a stand for it He spoke for an
hour and made a verv favorable imcression.
After the matter was discussed at length it
was decided to demand 74 cents per ton for
mining in the railroad pits of Western
Pennsylvania for the year beginning to-day.
This is 2) cents per ton more than
the rate advised by President Mo
Bride. A vote on the question was
taken, and resulted in 30 for and 2 against
the proposition. This means a strike, as
the operators have already agreed to pay
only 71 cents per ton for the summer
months. A committee, composed of James
Cole, John McGuire, William Collins and
John D. Conway, was appointedto wait on
the operators toAlay, and induce them, if
possible, to pay the scale decided upon.
A TEKT GEEAT COKXBAST.
This committee represents. President Con
way says, about 5,000 miners in Western
Pennsylvania, while the committee that
fixed the scale a week or two ago were
Knigbtsof Labor and only represented 350
miners. He claims that the Knights of La
bor have not more than 500 members on the
railroad district Of Western Pennsylvania.
It was said that ex-Congressman W. L.
Gcott would likely pay the price, as he has
some contracts to filL It was also stated
that an attempt is being made at his mines
in Illinois to pull the men's wages down
12i per cent This has caused a strike, and
if the contracts can be filled here Mr. Scott
will not suffer. He is trying, it is stated, to
work a strike here and compel the men in
Illinois to accept the reduction.
Archy Gordon, one of the leading mem
bers bf the N". P. U, from Crenshaw, -Jefferson
county, was a delegate" to' the conven
tion. In conversation with a DISPATCH
reporter Mr. Gordon denied the statements
made by John Costello- and published In
this paper on Sunday. He -says the Ten
nessee miners are not all native born. He
says that in Sparta, White county, there are
not one in fen native born Tennesseeans. He
has been to several places in the State and
says the majority of the miners are Scotch
men. THERE MAY BE STRIKES.
Sereral Scale la tbtf Balldlne Lines to Go
Into Effect To-Day Ominous Signs lor
Some of Them.
To-day several important scales- in the
building trades line will go into effect if the
employers will grant the terms. The lead
ing ones are the painters and carpenters and
joiners. Unless the terms are granted a
strike will undoubtedly occur, as the men
are well organized.
During the past few weeks an organiza
tion.was formed to take the place of the
Builders' League. Its formationwas kept
very quiet, but yesterday a reporter for this
paper learned that the new association was
the "United Building Trades Union." ,Ihe
constitution says that the objects of
the union shall be to centralize
the united efforts and experience of the var
ious societies engaged in the erection or al
teration of buildings.
Section 4 states that "this U. B. T. U.
will do no work on a, building unless it is
to be a union job from the foundation up.
from the footing course to completion of the
building, and that we will have -nothing
but union made material used in the erec
tion of all buildings."
Another section says: "Experienced
workmen knowing of modern appliances,
hoisting machines or scaffolding being in
secure or unfit to do the work on any build
ing on which they may be working shall
report the same to-the contractor and Build
ing Inspector; if they-fail to see the same
secure all workmen shall strike the job un
til the same be made secure."
Another section states: "Shenld the news
papers publish any news to the detriment of
our unions, the President or Secretary shall
have power to.deny the same over their sig
nature. This section gives the officers the power to
deny anything that is published that does
not meet with their approval, whether it is
true or not They may deny that the above
sectionbare in their constitution, but they
were all copied from the book which was
furnished by one of th leading members.

met last sight and decided to insist on the
payment of our wage scale. It provides a
minimum rate of $2 75 for nine hours'
work, instead of 2 60, the amount that has
been paid all year. We will fight for this,
and propose to win. There are a number of
carpenters who are not receiving enough
wages, and we will compel them to pay tie
price or stop all building this spring."

at best it can aJeet ly seven mea
and about eight boys; but Mr. Marvin,,
who did not know of the meetings and con
ferences, objects to being compelled to drive
his army of non-union employes into the
ranks of the Knights, when tfiey are op
posed to it Thirty of them were formerly
Knights, but when the assembly disbanded
they left, as they state, 'forever, and al
though they have been told to j6inifthey
see fit, they refused to do so.
Mr. Marvin says they never ask a man,
his creed, his politics, or whether be, is a
Knight or sot, but whether he can do the
work he claims he can do. Fitness is all
that is required. The, firm pays union
wages and runs on union hours, and if over
time is made, day or night, the men are paid
for it t
The question is nofone of wages or hours,
but whether Mr. Marvin shall compel his
men to join the union. He does not see
how lie can do this, and trusts that the pub
lic will approve his course.
The followintr letter was sent to J. O.
Brown, Chief of the Department of Public
Safety, yesterday: '
The Knights of Labor have declared a. strike
at our factory to-day. We wish to instruct
your men on that beat to assist our foreman to
night in case they should want our night men
to come out S. S. Marvin & Co.
No attempt to interfere with the men was
made last night, and the police assistance
was not called for.

THE 8TE1EE AT DUQUESNE.
No Farther Trouble of the Mill, and 150
Men Are Now at Work.
The situation at the Allegheny Bessemer
Steel Company's works has not changed
any during the past two days. The only
interesting incidents of the day was that 32
of the Italians who were brought
up on Monday left the works at
about 2 o'clock yesterday morning
and came to this city. A German
.employment agent brought out six more
newtnen on the 9 o'clock train and placed
them at work in the steel works yards.
The next new men that arrived came out on
the 2:47 p. St train, and were taken to the
steel works by the deputies. With what
men they got i on Monday and yesterday
and counting what left yesterday morning,
leaves about 150 or 175 men in the works.
There were three attempts to blow some
steel, but from all accounts it appears that
the steel is not very good and will not do
for rails.
The strikers are getting very indignant at
the report being circulated about town, in
regard to a railroad tie that was placed on
the railroad track last Tuesday evening, and
being found by two young men.the names of
whom are Bobert K. Winnett and John
Graff, who stated that while on their way
home from an entertainment held in Du
quesne on that (Tuesday) evening, they had
found a tie on the railroad, about 300 yards
above Cochran station. The yonng men
tell a very straightforward story and say if
anything more is wanted they will furnish
the testimony of the two young ladies
that were with them. A( 9 o'clock last
night a locomotive was employed in taking
out the cars that the Italians have been un
loading. Deputy Sheriff Williams who is in charge
was seen and said that everything was ex
traordinarily quiet and that the strikers
have offered no resistance whatever to the
new men who are coming in on almost every
train.
Provisions to the amount of $300 worth
were received and placed Jrf a storeroom, op
posite the corner ot the steel works, for the
strikers.
A number of strikers were interviewed
and every one seemed confident that they
would win the fight, but that it would take
time to do it
Sheriff McCandless in speaking to a Dis
patch reporter last evening, said they
had made three heats and he did not expect
any trouble.

to a number of secret societies who meet
every night in the week. The library is be

predominate.
The veterans meet at any time they feel
like it, either to transact business or to fight
their battles over again, arid they testify to
a vast amount of enjoyment therein, and
ask for no help from the public. The ob

by the speakers. General Pearson detailed
its history, telling ho w Encampment No. 1

HANDSOME HAEET WHITE.
General Harry White, Judge of the court
of Indiana county, referred to our complex
system of government, which until lately
had been considered an experiment, but
100 years of Constitutional rule,
marked by the greatest progress ever
made, have made it a model, for
the builders of civilization. While he
thinks the war of 1861-65 will be the last
ever fought in the United States, those
years will ever be an epoch in history.
While with the young the Civil War is a
tradition, with gray,headed veterans it is a
memory, and no ceremony is vain, no time
misspent ihat gives proper direction to
right-thought and effort The cause of the
movement in 1861 was not kn6wn by the
masses of the South- Mcst of the people
there were like the rebel sergeant who had
Judge Jeremiah B. Black in charge as a
prisoner at .Harper's I"erry. When asked
in judge ijiack;s presence, by some
of h'is comrades what the war
was about, the Sergeant replied: "They say
the war is for our rights. I don't know
whether I've got mine or not, but if I
haven't, d d.if I don't want them."
While the masses of the Qouth were ac
quainted with their State governments, they
knew nothing more of the General Govern
ment than that it delivered the mails to
them once a week. If the war had done
nothing more than teach the South the
functions and principles of the General
Government, the accomplishment would
have been of Immense value. In the North
it was different. The people here understood
why the contest was waged on their part
In conclusion General White opposed the
commercial speculation that proposed the
removal of Libby prison to the shores of
Lake Michigan. He thought the memories
that cluster about it on the James river
would not follow it to Lake Michigan.
EULOGIES OB" "WASHINGTON.
John H. Kerr, -Esq., regarded the day an
appropriate one for the, dedication of the
hall as it assisted to preserve the memory of
another grand event, the inauguration of
the Union's first President Turning to the
portraits of Washington, Lincoln and
Grant, hanging in the rear of the presiding
officer's chair, Mr, Kerr epitomized the
merits of each in fitting terms. He said:
"If we do praise ourselves overmuch, you
will forgive us when you remember that we
meet over the office ol a gas company,"
In winding up, or rather running down,
Mr. Kerr stated that the great figure of the
Civil War was the private soldier who
periled his life on the scant promise of only
possible renown and for a mere pittance.
Jndge Slagle referred to the formation of
two parties at the close of the devolution,
one the Federal, contending for a strong
central government, and the other (he Na
tional Republican, which now is known as
the Democratic, which was jealous of cen
tralized power, urging its distribution among
the States. Washington was the wonder of
the world and is still (the wonder
of Europe. His rejection of a crown after
his glorious services, a crown which would
have been freely given him by the nation,
was up to that time the grandest spectacle
ever witnessed by the world, but the vol
untary surrender of unconquerable power
by a million of trained soldiers, with arms
in their hands, at 4 the close of
our Civil War, relapsing quietly Into
a million peaceable private citizens,
was a spectacle equally grand with Wash
ington's refusal of the crown.
THKOTJGH THBEE CEI3ES.
Jndge Thomas Ewing referred to three
periods in Which this country each time
passed through a great crisis. At the close
of the Bevolution anarchy stared it in the
face. The evil was averted by the adoption
of tho Constitution of 1787j framed by men
greater than whom none ever existed iq the
history of the world. The second was
caused by the growth of the slave power
hand of the doctrine of State's righte, and
was appeased by peaceable methods, and the
third was met by these veterans in the Civil
War, who, after establishing the national
life, separated and lost themselves in the
qniet of citizenship. . ,( ,'"
Colonel A. B. Hay stated that'll 'anyone
wanted to know why it was necessary to
maintain these soldiers' organizations, Jie
wonld reply that it was because the loyal
people ot the country hadailed ta do their
duty by them had not done what they
promised to do when these veterans went
out ta meet privation and death in 1861. .He
could not understand how General White
came to develop so maeh lore for Libby
Prison after having gone to so much freftUe
in digging out of it oae upon a time.

AT Til COLUMBUS CLUB.
Right Kev. K. Pfcetaa Addresses tfco 6e
They Ara EMertained fat Bmh ef
WasMactes's InaaHratIea.
The Columbus Club presented a very in
teresting programme to its' guests from the'
Washington centenary' inauguration cele
bration at the elnbrooms on Smithfield
street last night, and those who had the
privilege of being present will 'certainly re
tain a very pleasant memory of the affair.
The Haydn Quartet contributed several
appropriate songs; Messrs. Eudolph Henney
and Curtis Baffin rendered two delightful
zither duets', and Mr. J. E. O'Donnell re
cited "The Blacksmith's Story."
Mr. Jeremiah Dunlevy, President of the
club, was in the chair. The rooms were
handsomely decorated, and an apparently
old oil painting of General Washington oc
cupied a conspicuous place in front of the
fireplace. .
Several very interesting addresses were
made. Mr. P. P. Smith, a club .member,
made ihe opening speech. He was suc
ceeded by the Kev. A. Bussell Nevins, C.
8. P., of New York, who discoursed upon
the subject, "Catholics and Patriotism."
The Her. Father A. A. Lambing read a
historical paper,, which recalled thefacts of
General Washington's inauguration.
Afterthe guests had listened to all this,
Mr. F. P. Smith asked the Bt Bev. B.
Phelan'. 'Bishop Coadjutor, to make a few
remarks in honor of the occasion. That
distinguished gentleman smilingly com
plied, as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen: Tou have been fa
vored with so many fine speeches, treating of so
many subjects, that it is really impossible for
me to add anything which could he more inter
esting than what you have beard already. You
have listened to historical facts whose com
memoration we are celebrating this evening,
and you have received some wholesome advice
from one of the presiding speakers as to what
is jour right and your duty. I heard
just now a comparative mention made
of General Washington and Napoleon X,
or General Bonaparte. Both were great gen
erals, though I suppose that from a soldier's
standpoint Napoleon would be considered the
greater. Both bronght honor, glory and dis
tinction upon their respective countries. Both
started from the lowest ranks, and energet
ically pursued their course to the nignest
honors a grateful country and an appreciative
people coma wen Destow upon mem.
Bat now let us look at the motives, at the
prompting spirits of the two men. Iris true
Napoleon loved his country dearly: but he did
not love it in the same. spirit that Washington
loved his country. Napoleon loved France for
his own sake; he loved it as far as it afforded
him the means of satisfying the greedy thirst
of his own nerfinnal ambition.
In this Washington differed from him,
He
loved his country, but he also loved bis fellow
citizens. He loved his country, and he con
sidered his ambition to be the servant of that
country. He loved his fellow citizens, and he
feltlthis honored duty to serve them. He did
not want to be their ruler, but their adviser.
The. people of America did not fully realize a
Republican Government at the time when
Washington fought in the Revolutionary War.
In fact they offered him the crown as the mon
arch of the nation. But be, unselfish as he was,
declined it
That gentlemen, that act of the great Presi
dent shonld be a jrnlding star to a number of
our politicians of to-day. I am not here to ac
cuse anybody, hut we all know that there a
number of men Sn high responsible positions at
the head of qur Government who often forget
tbat they are the servants of the people of
theirconntry. Tbey make their positions the
footstool of their own selfish desires and am
bitions. I have no fear that; the people of to
day will forget themselves so far as to allow
themselved to be governed by a despot But
watch and pray tbat it may never come to that
Ask God Almighty to prevent this country
from ever being anything else than a republic,
a land of free and liberty-loving people.
